Description
February 10, 2026
Ontario Premier Doug Ford has responded to U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to block the opening of the new Gordie Howe International Bridge that connects Windsor, Ont. and Detroit, Mich. Trump called for immediate negotiations over the new trade route in a Truth Social post shared Monday, demanding ownership of “at least one half of this asset.” “If President Trump didn't want this to go forward, why did he fast track it [in 2017]?” Ford queried to reporters in Toronto on Tuesday.
